Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an antifouling coating composition, and to an antifouling coating film, an antifouling substrate and production thereof, and an antifouling method using the antifouling coating composition.
  • Antifouling coating films formed from an organopolysiloxane antifouling coating composition are used widely to prevent the attachment of aquatic organisms to surfaces such as ships and underwater structures.
  • active studies have been recently made to attain high antifouling performance even with respect to microorganisms such as slimes which are bacterial secretion films by combining an organopolysiloxane antifouling coating composition with a bioactive antifouling agent.
  • pyrithione salts offer long-lasting superior antifouling properties and are thus useful.
  • the antifouling agents are generally used in conjunction with titanium oxides which provide efficient enhancements in light resistance and hiding properties of coating films and which also allow coating films to be formed with a wide range of color hues.
  • Patent Literature 1 describes an antifouling coating composition containing a curable organopolysiloxane and a pyrithione metal salt, and discloses an Example in which titanium oxide is further added to the antifouling coating composition.
  • Patent Literature 1 describes titanium oxide as a generally used option, but makes no references to the surface treatment of titanium oxide.
  • the titanium oxide used in Examples of Patent Literature 1 is "TITONE R-5N", which is a commercially available product with the surface treated with an "aluminum compound alone".
  • the surface treatment of titanium oxides for use in curable organopolysiloxane paints is widely made with an aluminum compound to avoid risks such as an increase in viscosity during storage.
  • Patent Literature 1 WO 2014/077205
  • a curable organopolysiloxane and a pyrithione salt such as one described in Patent Literature 1
  • an organosiloxane antifouling coating composition containing a pyrithione salt is combined with titanium oxide that is surface-treated with an aluminum compound alone, an antifouling coating film of such a composition is deteriorated in antifouling properties particularly when applied to a surface which is frequently exposed to sunlight (see Comparative Examples 1 and 2 described later) .
  • the present inventors carried out extensive studies in light of the circumstances discussed above, and have concluded that the deteriorations in antifouling properties probably stem from the decomposition of the pyrithione salt.
  • the present inventors have then found that a coating composition containing a curable organopolysiloxane, a pyrithione salt, and titanium oxide which is surface-treated with a specific compound (a silicon compound, a zirconium compound or a zinc compound) can give coating films which are resistant to the decomposition of the pyrithione salt and exhibit high antifouling properties even under conditions where the coating films are frequently exposed to sunlight.
  • the present invention has been completed based on the finding.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses no specific embodiments which use titanium oxide surface-treated with the specific compound of the present invention.
  • the antifouling coating composition provided according to the present invention can give, with a wide range of color hues, antifouling coating films which exhibit good antifouling properties even under sunlight environments and which have excellent hiding properties.
  • the present invention further provides an antifouling coating film formed from the antifouling coating composition, an antifouling substrate coated with the antifouling coating composition, a method for producing such an antifouling substrate, an antifouling method, and a method for reducing the deterioration in antifouling properties of an antifouling coating film.
  • Titanium oxide is known as a photoactive catalytic substance which exhibits a strong redox action when it absorbs UV light. If use is made of titanium oxide that is not surface-treated with a silicon compound, a zirconium compound or a zinc compound (for example, titanium oxide surface-treated with an aluminum compound alone), the photoactivated catalysis and other actions of titanium oxide will cause a decomposition of a pyrithione salt and a consequent decrease in antifouling properties.
  • the titanium oxide used in the present invention is surface-treated with a silicon compound, a zirconium compound or a zinc compound (the titanium oxide may be surface-treated with an aluminum compound in addition to these three compounds) and consequently will not cause a decomposition of a pyrithione salt, thus realizing good antifouling properties.
